A new essay, on playing the 2005 TTRPG Polaris- or rather, on reading a gamebook and imagining, daydreaming, inventing what it would be like to play over a period of many, many years. everestpipkin.medium.com/that-was-how...
Playing Polaris alone at the edge of the world
This is beautiful writing and a beautiful experience you shared. The solo discoveries remind me a bit of @paulczege.bsky.social's thoughts on solo journaling, even if Polaris wasn't intended for solo play.
That was wonderful. Thank you!
This is absolutely spellbinding, I felt like I was right there It's amazing how TTRPGs new and old shape us, how we can come back to them with new perspectives
oh I can't wait to snuggle away to read this, your writing always takes me to such wonderful places!
I really love this.
